VETERAN PITCHERS
AND THE YOUNGSTERS
Balance Is Nearly Always in Favor of
the Old Men. .
Y0UNQ BLOOD IS DISAPPOINTING
Old Heads Kalher Than Young Arm
TcU the Story-riucinniiti the Best
Equipped with Hot Materinl.
Brooklyn Ranks NcxtBiiltiniore
Has tinly n Pair of Stnra The
thcr Clubs.
"Who Is the best 'pitcher In the bljr
league this season?" in a question that
is agitating the cranks an much as ever.
The campaign Is now far enough ad
vanced to Judge of the merits of clubs
and Individuals; every t wirier has now
been tried out most thoroughly and
there seems to be little reserve talent
left unused.
It looks as If the young blood of thP
season was not In it to any great extent,
so far as pitching 1 concerned. Hill
and Kraser of Louisville, have shown
some signs of ability and some of the
men picked up at the finish of last fall
are doing well enough. Yet the veter
ans rule and their old, wily heads are
the ones that are dolngc the winning.
"Red" Ehret. In Cincinnati, is doing
as pood pitching as anybody. It Is ar
gued that "Red" always rould pitch
and that he never before tried to do his
best. But he had no uch excuse for
Indolence when he wan with Pittsburg
as he had with St. Louis, und the best
he ever did before wan very feeble be
side his deeds of lsiuj. Uwyer, Rhines,
Fisher and Foreman, the rest of the
Reds' pitchers, are'ull winning their
games und yet not on of the live Cin
cinnati slubmen was considered really
great before this summer. It Is a case
where the hearty confidence and hon
est exertion of the team behind them
makes the men victorious, and ho uni
form Is the caliber of these live pitchers
that any one of them could be dis
abled, us Rhines has been, and the team
would not be weakened In the least.
Any three of the tlve could carry the
tea 111.
BALTIMORK STARS.
I (offer and McMahon, Baltimore's
star pair, have been erratic this yeur,
and neither has done the work he did
last season. Yet they win anybody
could win with the Haltimore team to
buck him nnd neither would amount to
much on any other nine. Pond, Han
Ion's young discovery, lias clone a great
deal to keep Baltimore up in front, und
there have been a few good games
pitched by Rsper, Hemming und Clark
son. Nevertheless, the work of the Bal
timore six has not been ecitiul to that of
the Cincinnati live.
Cleveland Is powerfully armed In the
box. Last year, had cither Young or
Cuppy been Injured, all betM would
have been off with the Tebeau gang.
This year Wilson, the failure of last
summer, has turned winner and could
take the place of either of the stars as
a game capturer. Wallace is a good
fourth and the Cleveland .quartette
must be regarded at dangerous clear
through the campaign. . .
Chicago Just at present seems well
fixed for pitchers, but there is an ele
ment of uncertainty about the work of
Anson's twirlers. Orlftlth can always
be relied upon; the heady' little fellow
has no superior as a general and, with
a shade more speed, would be far away
the best pitcher In the league. Terry,
Friend and Briggs are all given to fall
ing down when games are needed, al
though they do some ureal pitching ever
and anon.
Frank Killen. the left fielder. Is doing
Pittsburg's winning'. Hawley is still
headstrong and erratic, Hughey Is no
wonder, and Hastinifs Is apt to prove
I too light for the leupue. Pittsburg, on
1 pitchers alone, has not even a chance to
i pass Chicago,
Nichols of Boston stands alone as the
team's one great pitcher. He does his
best to carry the club, but Stlvetts,
Lewis, Sullivan and Uulaii are all un
certain quantities and the club should
rank about with Pittsburg on the sea
son. Philadelphia is down in the mud and
will hardly get out of seventh position,
cu th. last year's wonder, Is not winning
games; Carsey never was a marvel and
has nothing but his nerve; Taylor is
hard to govern and Humbert is in the
evening of baseball life. The young
sters, Keener and Oarvln, will do
some day. Meanwhile, they are losing
games.
BROOKLYN'S AltR ALL' flOOD.
Brooklyn's pitchers are really good,
nnd the weak hitting: of the team seems
to be all that keeps it down. Stein,
Kennedy, Daub and Payne are all good
men; they' are almost If nut quite as
valuable as uny four of the Cincinnati
pitchers, and yet the club can't win.
There Is no 'talk of internal rebellion
or trouble and the poor showing of the
Brooklyns must, therefore, remain one
of the mysteries of the year.
Washington can't wih, because the
nine has only one idtchcr. Mercer is
equal to the best, lut Maul. Herman
and McJameH do not rank among win
ners. New York under the baneful influence
of Andrew Freedman, is lucky to ever
win ut all. Mcekln and Clarke could
win with uny other club, but they can't
with the Oiants, nor can any of the
Freedmun-Irwin experimental twirlers.
St. Louis has two good men Brelten
steln and Hurt unci another who may
be good some day in Donohue, but the
Browns can't do anything to anybody.
Von der Abe is too much of an incubus
for any team to win.
Louisville tries hard, but Fruscr, Hill,
and Cunningham, much us they are
'boomed by the Bourbon press, lack the
deep skill und slaying; inver of really
great hnxmen.

RAYiTNlroirDEAD.
August Belmont Famous Stallion
Dic"Mr. Belmont's Misfortune.
It Is a rather singular fact that ever
since August Belmont set out to make
preparations for a foreign invasion
with his stable, ill luck poems to hav
followed his horsex. Henry of Na
varre, Hastings, Margrave, Don de
Oro, are all more or less on the sus
pected list of ailing. To as painstak
ing and as conscientious a trainer as
Mr. Hyland, such a. series of mishaps
Is very trying.
Now, to make matters worse came
the news lost week that Mr. Belmont's
crack stalliion. Rayon d'Or was dead.
Rayon d'Or, very well named, for he
was a beautiful golden chestnut. In
color, was not only a great race horse,
but he was a success In the tud. The
late Congressman Scott, who Imported
him from France to serve at -the head
of the Algeria istud. was paitlciilaily
proud of him, and I:.- bud every rtason
to feel so, in the course of bis stud
career he got atlch high cluss lace
horses us. Teiiny. Hunqtlet, Chaos, Tea
Tray. Hoodie' and a host of others. He
also sired Don de Oro, wha It was ex
pected would turn nut the crack 2-year-old
this year. Mr. Belmont pur
chased Rayon d'Or at Hie rale of Mr.
Scott's liable for $30,000. Mr. Scott
had Imported him from France at a
cost of 140,000. - Rayon d'Oro was foal
ed In 1S76 at the Haras Dangu, Frane,
being by Flageolet, out of Araucaiia,
by Ambrose (son of Touchstone); sec
ond dam, the great mare, Pochontas,
by imported Glencoc. His sire was a
great race horse, while his dam also
threw Chamant, Camellia, Stephanotis
and Welllngtonia. all great successes
on the turf and In the stud in France
and England.
Rayon d'Or's chief feat was was his
victory in the Doncaster St. Leger, but
during a career of three years he was
unpluced only twice in 30 starts, and
won $121,040. Besides the St. Leger,
he won the Levant, Clearwell. Prince
of Wales, St. James's Palace. Suisex.
Hreut Foal, Select. Champion, and
Great Challenge stakes. As a 2-year-old
he won with as much as 129 lsiunds
up, and carried 131 und 132 pounds to
victory as a three and four year old re
spectively. He won at all distances
from five furlongs up to three miles
and a furlong.
Now that Mr. Belmont Is abroad he
will have much difficulty In securinp
a worthy successor to Ruyon d'Or.

Ills time was 33 seconds flat, lowering
the world's record .1-5 of a second.
Rulph Sulsburg, of Port Huron, then

paced by a triplet. His time was 28
flat, which lowers the state record two
fifths of a second.
"Cannln Ball" Eddie then went for the

made it In 1:12 2-5. which is the state
record. Harry Hart of Grand Rapids
then went In for the one-third mile un
paced standing start, track record,

MAKERS DISCUSSING '97 MODELS
Shrewd Manbin tou Agrnts irt
Promiuent Urn lo Hide Their
Wheels.. Itules for Safe St re t Hid.
ing.ev Track Records. Old
Saddles Can Be Made cw.
The bicycle manufacturers' who have
sold their outputs for this season have
now turned their attention to the dis
cussion and arrangement of plans for
the '97 wheel. There will be some few
changes in next year's wheel. It seems
likely that the climax as far us lisht
ness Is concerned has been reached, s-i
that the new models next year will vary
little in weight from those of this sea
son. The demand for brakes this year,
it Is said, will compel the manufacturer
to tit their '97 wheels out with this ac
cessory., leaving It to the option of th'
purchaser whether lie wishes a brake
or the present style of brake seems
likely to result In the introduction cf
some new attachments which will be
effective In bringing a bicycle to a stop
and at the same time not mar the out
lines of the .wheel. The demand for
gear cases on wheels Is also likely to
compel recognition from the manufac
turers. It Is expected that some of the
big manufacturers will provide light
weight gear cases for riders similar to
those In use in England.' Gear cover
ing Is a great convenience and help to
ridel s, and while it possibly adds from
one-half to one pound weight to a
bicycle, its value overcomes the draw
buck. A great number of small
changes are ulso anticipated.
A .western railroad hus devised r.n
arrangement for carrying bicycles' In
baggage cuts, which consists of a
series of stalls. In which machines nr.'
placed, and over the top of these stall!
Is a platform for the storage of trunk'i.
It Is Interesting to know thut the prin
cipal railroads are beginning to study
the question of bicycle storage, and it
is thought when this question Is prop
erly understood the bicycle will ceas"
to be the objectlon to buggugemeli lliilt
it is at present.
Washington bicycle agents use every
effort to get prominent men to ride the
wheels they handle. Speaker Reed was
constantly besieged by agents, who of
fered to present to hltn wheels built es
pecially for him and properly adapted
for his avoirdupois If he would only ride
them. They did not even want the
privileges of advertising the fact that
he roade a wheel of a certain make, so
anxious were they to land him on their
machine. All sorts of attempts have
been made to convert Mrs. Cleveland
to cycling, and If she wanted to ride
she could ride a golden bicycle studded
with precious stones. A Washington
cyc le agent says: "I paid a white house
employe $250 once for helping me to In
sure President Garfield's life, and I
would give twice that amount to any
body who Will help me to get Mrs.
Cleveland to ride one of my wheels."
The rule thut In passing a carriage
or another bicycle moving In the same
direction wheelmen should go on the
left side Is an excellent one. but of
course there are times when it Is neces
sary to depart from It. It is a question
of good Judgment here and everywhere
else on the bicycle. On passing a bi
cycle on the left a rider must always
keep a sharp lookout, lest he comes face
to face with some one riding in an op
posite direction who has turned to the
right on meeting the vehicle. Obvious
ly, the second rider, in such a case,
would have the right of way. and the
first one should slow down until he sees
this his road is clear.
Bicycle saddles which have become
stretched by use may become renovat
ed to a certain extent by dampening
the under side of the leather. This will
cause It to shrink, and, if the saddle is
not too badly out of shape, it will, after
treatment, be nearly as good us new.
New records on the track and road
have been expected this season, and the
leading riders have verified the early
predictions of their followers by creat
ing new figures at both short and long
distances. While some remarkable rec
ords have been established nu straight
away courses with the uld of strong
winds little credence Is tiluced In such
performances. Some of the principal
world's records up to date are as fol
lows: One quarter mile, flying start, paced,
.22 3-5. by W. M. Randall at Coronado,
Cal., April 17. 1S9C; half mile, tlylng

THE BIG RACE MEET.
To Be Conducted by the (in-rn Ridge
Wheelmen.
It Is ce rtain that the races at the meet
of the Green Ridge Wheelmen at the

the country. E. M. Murray, who re
cently won a mile race in 2.12. and whose
record Is several seconds faster, has en
tered. J. H. Corser. J. C. Henderson, C.
W. Krick. Ray Croiise. and other who
are Just as fast us Murray will fie here
ami a battle royul will surely result.
Corser will make a special attempt to
break the half-mile state record, paced
by a tandem. Miles Gibbons, champion
trick rider, will give an exhibition be
tween races. It Is only with consider
able expense that the Green Ridge
Wheelmen are enabled to present this
brilliant urray of racing men. but they
believe thnt the best Is none too good
for the public and are determined to
have as good races as It is possible to
have. Price of admission hus been
placed at 25 cents.
